On March 31, Bangor police and Department of Health and Human Services officials investigated a report in which a 1-year-old child had ingested Xanax pills after finding them on the floor of a Bangor residence, according to Edwards.

During the investigation, police discovered some of the adults involved misled investigators about how the child gained access to the drug, the sergeant said. Edwards did not disclose the relationship between the child and Perkins.

The sergeant said the child was not poisoned by the drugs but was treated at Eastern Maine Medical Center the night of the incident and released. He added he did not know where the child is staying now.

Perkins was summoned and charged by police on Monday but not arrested, Edwards said. A court date has not been set for her.
